Is Herbalife a Scam?

Standard

Herbalife CEO Michael Johnson says he’s never heard anyone refer to HLF as a scam in the last ten years. Funny, but it seems the internet has heard such things. So much that Herbalife distributors write articles and produce videos that attempt to rank well in Google for the search phrase “herbalife scam.” If their pro-Herbalife information is all that shows up when a potential distributor is searching for the truth about the company, the “negative” side will never be seen.

when the HL CEO said this was the first time he’d heard “HL is a scam” in his 10 year tenure, I had to laugh out loud. Either he’s clueless or lying. Either way, do you want to invest either time or money in such a company? There are so many better options out there!

It is a scam for sure, but it is a protected scam becuase the government won’t touch HLF. Is Ackman’s presentation an inflection point against MLM, or is it a cause for a short squeeze? I’ll go with the latter since the DOJ has no balls.
